AUBrandon 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 if anything, i think a sustainable ROI over a large sample size may be slightly higher in normal sngs at the $10 level, though probably not by much. i play these because of the low variance though. but yeah i wonder what the results would be too. hopefully in about 3 weeks ill have 1k of these down.

gradin123 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The horrible play towards near the bubble by some players drives me just about nuts at times. Pop Quiz - Situation is: There are 6 players left and the shortstack has 350 chips and is in the bb when the blinds are 100-200. What do you do? A. Everyone at the table call his 200 regardless of the two cards you have. If he pushes in his last 150 then everyone call him. IT doesn't matter what two cards he has he is more than likely going to lose if all 6 players play it through.BTW, never ever ever ever ever raise another player out the pot if the player in 6th is all-in. This one drives me insane. For example I cite what just happened in a tourney i played. The guy in 6th was all-in on the bb and some dude from early position raises. He has JJ but of course it didnt hold to the bb's 6q. I was in the small blind with K2 and I had to fold to the raise. Of course I would have beat the bb and the game would have been over if I was allowed to play without having to call a raise. Link to post Share on other sites

AmScray 355 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 God, these things are fucking awful. I think I'd rather be water-boarded than to play another session of these abortions. If I'm ever sent to hell, and satan wants to punish me REALLY bad, he'll having me playing a mix of HU/LHE games and "Double Or Nothing" SnG's. Clearly profitable (5 tables, 4/5, the one I lost was runner-runner straight after getting it all in with a dominating 2 pair), but boring as hell. I had to go abuse a microstakes table by going all in every hand for 10 minutes straight, just to regain my sanity. Link to post Share on other sites

ChuckNorr!s 0 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I tried it, doubled up and I went to wash my car and when I came back and its over I won $9.60, you can actually sit out after doubling up, you can masturbate or smoke some weed, easy money but boring.

therescav 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 What happens in these things if two people get knocked out at once on the bubble? e.g I have 1.5k, someone else has 1k, and the big stack knocks both of us out in the one hand.... so I finish 5th, but do I cash?
